Windermere Posted April 22, 2020 at 02:17 PM Share Posted April 22, 2020 at 02:17 PM I can't find this anywhere. I'm just curious. i tried looking for this info last night, couldn't find anything. I did find that it looks like they are now going to fast track an "assualt style weapons ban", so i'm guessing it was at least semi-automatic.

Doesn't matter what he used, this gives them the opportunity to fast track anti gun legislation. "Never let a crisis go to waste" isn't just an American Democrat saying.

Tip Posted April 22, 2020 at 04:39 PM Share Posted April 22, 2020 at 04:39 PM It must have been a registered handgun because it is currently illegal to possess an unregistered handgun or any kind of rapid-fire weapon in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragsbo Posted April 22, 2020 at 10:34 PM Share Posted April 22, 2020 at 10:34 PM I would guess that since fake news is not screaming about it being an "assault weapon" that it was something like a shotgun or a handgun. They would never keep it quiet unless the gun did not fit their narrative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted April 23, 2020 at 02:18 AM Share Posted April 23, 2020 at 02:18 AM ... it is currently illegal to possess ... any kind of rapid-fire weapon in Canada. It's legal, but the vocabulary is misleading. Full-auto weapons are classified as "prohibited," but it is possible to have a "prohibited license," which means the license-holder can own a "prohibited" weapon. Long gun magazines are limited to 5 rounds, though. Meanwhile, my bet is on a semi-auto pistol. Magazines for pistols are limited to 10 rounds. Pistols don't have to be registered, except in Quebec. So they'll probably require registration and reduce the mag sizes more. Think of the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito Posted April 23, 2020 at 02:18 PM Share Posted April 23, 2020 at 02:18 PM My guess is that this individual was a friendly, law abiding citizen who happened upon an evil firearm. The spirit of the gun took over his mind and soul and sent him on a killing rampage. He couldn't help himself as the gun itself was the cause of the killing. A few more laws restricting who can have access to guns, and what type of guns can legally exist in Canada and all should be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikew Posted April 23, 2020 at 04:18 PM Share Posted April 23, 2020 at 04:18 PM Canada ain't USA.We may not find out anytime soon. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-will-the-rampage-in-nova-scotia-prove-to-be-a-pivotal-moment-in/ excerpt: It will be some time before we know what that evidence may be in Nova Scotia. There are 16 separate crime scenes, and it is likely the gunman used more than one weapon. But Canadian police are reluctant to share information at the best of times, citing the danger of prejudicing court proceedings or ongoing investigations. Information reaches the public long after the fact, if at all: We still don’t know what gun was used in an August, 2018, mass shooting in Fredericton, which killed two police officers and two civilians, because the matter has not yet come to trial.Must we wait two years to learn the facts on which the Liberals intend to base their evidence-based policy? How are we to assess that policy, absent those facts? Some of those facts are available now. The police can confirm whether the shooter held a firearms licence within hours, a fact that cannot conceivably prejudice any Serious Incident Response Team investigation. Yet the RCMP has not released this information.Whether the past weekend’s rampage in Nova Scotia will prove to be a pivotal moment in Canadian gun control remains to be seen. In a video shared to Twitter Monday by Canada’s National Firearms Association, former U.S. National Rifle Association TV personality Colion Noir suggested the Liberals were exploiting a tragedy to push an anti-gun agenda. And the political opportunity for the Liberals to act has surely arrived. But it is less clear that whatever action they take will form a sensible and coherent response to the problem of mass shootings in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRonin70 Posted April 25, 2020 at 11:14 PM Share Posted April 25, 2020 at 11:14 PM Well, for what it's worth, there is this . . . "Police have 'good idea' gunman in N.S. mass shooting not licensed for weapons" Campbell said the suspect had a pistol that was acquired in Canada and several long-barreled guns that were obtained in the United States.

vito Posted April 25, 2020 at 11:55 PM Share Posted April 25, 2020 at 11:55 PM I don't believe that this shooter used guns at all. He had no license, Canadian laws do not allow easy access to guns. It must be a mistake in the news because after all, LAWS WERE PASSED TO PREVENT THIS. I think he must have killed all 22 people using a Swiss Army pocket knife. The other explanation is that it is all the fault of Donald Trump, or maybe the NRA, or maybe the knuckle dragging folks that actually OWN GUNS in America. Oh, the humanity.

Windermere Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:50 PM Share Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:50 PM My job's headquarters is in Montreal. A colleague of mine there, told me it was an AR platform. He knows nothing more than that. I think even the majority of Canadians do not know exactly what it was. He was also saying that many Canadians are really fired up about the new bans, because you have to jump through flaming hoops to even own a firearm. Extensive training, long waits, and even need to have fellow licensed gun owners vouch for you. I'm not sure how effective a fired Canadian is though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defaultdotxbe Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:29 PM Share Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:29 PM I've also read that it was an AR, but only uncited assertions in news articles, not a quote from law enforcement or anyone else I would trust to even know the difference Anyone remember this one? Turned out the shooter used a pump-action shotgun and a handgun he stole from a guard he killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vito Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:36 PM Share Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:36 PM Maybe the authorities will say he used an "AR-14" to bolster Senile Joe Biden's credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:49 PM Share Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:49 PM I believe if it truly was an AR used, we'd have heard ALL about it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
